Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Cody Daniels raised to 2,500 on the button and was called by Abdullah Al-Shanti in the small blind and another opponent in the big blind.

"Taking on the maniac in seat #5," Daniels said as the flop came 2♣10♠4♦. Al-Shanti then bet 2,200, the big blind folded, while Daniels called.

Al-Shanti led out for another 2,200 on the 9♦ turn and Daniels raised to 5,000. Al-Shanti called and the K♣ fell on the river.

Daniels then bet 12,000 and Al-Shanti folded this time. "Pick two," Daniels told him, allowing Al-Shanti to reveal his hand. Al-Shanti turned over two kings as Daniels had hit a set on the river.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was on the river with Christian Harder in the midst of a bigtime decision. The pot had 95,000 in it and the board read 6♥J♣9♥3♥7♥. Chad Lousberg bet 70,000 which had Harder covered who was deep in the tank.

The clock was called, which Harder disagreed with, saying he had only had a minute. The dealer waited a while to call the floor as he continued to tank. Eventually the floor did come over to count it down and in the final seconds of the count down, Harder called.

Lousberg tabled the K♥Q♠ for the flush. Harder got up in anger and left the room swiftly as the dealer turned over the hand he had called with, A♦A♣.

McEwen Popped

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was on the river in a three-way pot that had 30,000 in it. It read J♥8♣4♥J♣5♦. From the hijack, big stack Catalin Pop dialed up the pressure cooker on his two shorter stacked opponents as he bet 75,000 which covered both players.

The first decision was on Ignacio Costa in the small blind who had about 55,000 behind, he went long into the tank and put his head in his hands multiple times while sighing. Eventually after 3 minutes he folded.

Then it was Preston McEwen's turn to stew from early position. He had about 35,500 behind and took around two minutes himself before he spiked in the call.

Pop turned over the J♠10♠ for trip jacks. McEwen got up in a hurry in visible frustration as his 9x9x hand was turned over and he fled out of the room with his main event over.

Meanwhile, Cuesta reacted in relief when he saw Pop's hand, indicating he had made the correct fold to preserve his tournament life.
